When flowers begin to fade , cut back the stalks and fertilize immediately. A second set of spikes may occur and bloom in late summer or early fall. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date or as late as 2 months before the first fall frost. Pacific Giants make great cut flowers and a background for flower beds. ... more
